Great Expectations

Can Leandro Trossard build on his debut FPL season and dodge the Brighton rotation?

Just before the start of the 2019/20 season, Brighton and Hove Albion signed Leandro Trossard (£6.0m) for a fee of around £15m.

I was very excited: he had just come off the back of the best season of his career, registering 14 goals and seven assists for Genk as they won the Belgian top flight.

His skilful playstyle and favoured position on the left wing combined with his Belgian nationality inevitably drew comparisons to the departing Eden Hazard.

Trossard tried to distance himself from the hype, but I couldn’t help but think we had pulled off a real coup.

The player said about himself:

I like one against ones. I’m quite fast, turning. I hope I can show you so you know how my style is.

Now reflecting on Trossard’s first season in the Premier League, I’ve been left a bit disappointed, both by Trossard’s overall performances (bar a couple of decent goals and display) and how I feel Potter has used him throughout the campaign.

I’m going to use this article to take a look at Trossard in more detail and hopefully, give a bit more insight into how I expect Albion to line up next season – and who (if any) of the Brighton boys we should be considering for our 2020/21 squads.

    What is the thinking around looking at "post-restart EPL stats"? Is this just to give us a better idea of how teams might perform in a fan-less environment? An indication of end of season form? ... or is there more to it than that? Curious.

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Seen this mentioned a few times on YouTube videos. I'm not sure it tells much given the context of the season at that point. A lot of teams had nothing to play for.

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I think that it was just a natural break point that did hit a restart button to an extent.

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      so they can make out that Southampton are supremos and Liverpool defence is shite, when the opposite is probably true

    4. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      There's not really a long gap inbetween so the people performing then are more likely to continue performing unlike other years where end of season form has a 3 month gap inbetween

    5. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      It's a new season and every team has something to play for, i'm not looking that much at post covid results. Most are forgetting this game was about 3 Liverpool players getting 30-40 points and hoping the rest gets 20

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Some good points there

    6. jtreble
      • 7 Years

      Thanks all for your replies.

  2. Cok3y5murf

    Jimenez's attacking potential affected by Doherty's departure?

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Definitely.

    2. nelluckram
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yep

    3. Sune
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure about that. Doherty more of a goal scorer than a creator.

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Doherty was equal 3td degender for assists last season, behind TAA and Robbo.

        1. Sune
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Yup. Underlying numbers tell a different story though.

    4. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not if Traore gets to play RB.

    5. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I think Adama assisted quite a lot of Jimenez goals last season, and i'd assume he plays more next season as Doherty left.

    6. Rover
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      If Maitland-Niles replaces him then yes, if Traore plaws as RWB then it might actually get better. I can see a 352 which would have Traore as RWB and Neto/Podence/Jota alongside Jimenez.

    7. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Who says he is departing?

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Jose Mourinho

    8. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Swapped him for Ings already

  3. JURGENAUT
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    If there wasn’t a blank Gw1, what would your teams have looked like?

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      KDB for Auba, Bruno for Son.

      1. JURGENAUT
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        What would the other 9 be?

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Same as what it is now. Posted it earlier today.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      My GW2 team

      McCarthy (4.0)
      TAA Laporte Boly Vinagre 4.0
      KDB Foden Fernandes Greenwood Soucek
      Werner Martial (4.5)

      1. Stormbringer22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Interesting team. Have not seen anyone yet with a City triple-up as early as GW2. Even less so with Foden and Laporte. Very unique

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Basically like this mine would look too

      2. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Wc gw2?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Completely different and that's why I'm gonna WC GW2.

    4. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      The same. Benching as I don't want transfers already taken I.e. Auba to Bruno/Kdb etc

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Probably would have Taylor, maybe Wood, KDB, maybe Mahrez, Rashford or Greenwood.

  4. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    No one knows when the first video of Mark & Az on FPL Blackbox will be out?

    i like soucek as my 5th or even 4th mid ,i dont get this whu crap fixtures theory,

    NEW easy
    arsenal hardly difficult
    WOL average
    leicester defence obliterated

    by gw5 time to reasess

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I think these fixtures suit Soucek. West Ham will go direct and try to make most of set pieces.

      With Soucek, I don't think you can bench him much. It will be hard to predict his points.

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Agree. He is a great asset.

    2. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Arsenal and wolves are difficult opposition. You're a member, look at the stats

      1. Jordan.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        stats ,schmats,i just watch footy ,for me neither team are top drawer

        1. Egg noodle
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          If the top drawer only has room for 1 team i.e. man city then yes I agree.

          1. Jordan.
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            no worries egg ,good to have a personal opinion and debate good luck for the season..

    3. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Like him as well, at the moment he is my 4th mid in a 343 draft

    4. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      ah and also i have none of those opponents defences,sorry a critical omission

    5. jtreble
      • 7 Years

      "... by gw5 time to reasess ...". :).

    6. Guba
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Way too overhyped on this site in my personal opinion

  6. nelluckram
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone just going Greenwood for United cover?

    1. nelluckram
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      After reading my own comment back to myself... I must be insane

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        it's an option, plenty of alternatives

        1. nelluckram
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Those fixtures tho...

    2. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      chances here,tony atm but could easily swap,greenwood looks a jolly good player,1.5 coins as well.

    3. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      i was, but now making plans for a placeholder for Bruno instead

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Very likely for me.. But won't be getting him before gw3.

    5. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Looking at to double up with Martial

    6. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Me, plan to get either KdB or Fernandes in for Son.

    7. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Me, as of 30 min ago.

    8. nelluckram
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Think I'm gonna double up with Bruno until GW12. Terrified of going without him

  7. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on this team? Any recommendations highly appreciated as I am writing my master thesis and have limited time to research

    McCarthy
    TAA Davies Vinagre Justin
    Salah Auba Madisson
    Kane Werner Mitrovic
    ___
    Nyland Johnson 4.5 4.5

    Plan is to do Auba + Maddisson to KDB + Greenwood in gw3. Could get Son instead of Kane and have enough itb to upgrade him to Fernandes. But I somewhat like having a premium striker in case someone like Aguero starts firing. Easy downgrade to Ings/Jiminez as well

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Would rather have Bruno than Greenwood as only Utd asset, so prefer the Son to Bruno plan. Good team though. Good luck with your thesis

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks mate

  8. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Maddison or Barnes?

    1. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Actually have Maddison

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Mad is on

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Maddi

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Barnes for the shooting stats, Maddison more nailed to start each week

    5. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Maddison, I feel like Barnes is overpriced by 0.5

    6. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Neither. Leicester aren’t a good bet for the start of the season this year as much as it pains me to say.

  9. linkafu
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Who get more points this season:

    A KDB
    B Bruno
    C Sterling

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Bruno methinks, Messi will grab all the bonus points at City!

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      BAC - based on minutes mainly

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      A

    4. Party time
        3 years, 7 months ago

        KDB

      • Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        A. If he keeps pens.

      • Goonsquad245
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        CAB

      • Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        The order you have it in

    5. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Anyone got any thoughts on Naby Keita as an FPL option?

      1. Klaren
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I was considering him as a short term punt but it seems like Henderson might be back soon so his minutes will be a concern. As Liverpool’s fixtures aren’t great anyway, I’m not sure if he is worth the risk.

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          And for a one week punt first GW against Leeds?

          1. The Sarjeant
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            If I wasn’t going with Mane, I would.

          2. Fpl Richie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Excellent in that scenario

            1. nelluckram
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Yup

      2. Party time
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Good option for draft teams

        • FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          It is a no for me... Thiago might be incoming as well

        • Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I just see it as using up a pool spot.
          I know at one point I’ll want TAA, Salah and Mane so will keep it free ready

        • The Sarjeant
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          He’s good Liverpool ‘cover’! 😉

          1. The Sarjeant
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            In all seriousness I quite fancy him if he was to nail down a spot.

          2. Ziro
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

        • Greasy Grealish Gang
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I got him nailed. He has excelled since the re-start, perhaps feels a tad more comfortable playing without crowds? Depends on your team dynamic but I'd guess he'll a great option at his current price.

          He costs a Liverpool slot but this means I have funds for pricier options while still having 3 Liverpool players. Not that scared about playing time.

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            PLaying a one week GW 1 team with Pool defence double up so comes down to:

            A) Salah (c) and ASM (whu)
            B) Auba (c) and Keita (LEE)

      3. Bank$y
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Let’s not forget that City will likely sign someone this summer in addition to if the Messi deal happens. No offence to Ake but that’s not their usual marquee signing.

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Signed Torres too

      4. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        So with Pogba getting covid, it looks like more than ever we will need some depth on the bench!

        Who knows who will come down positive the day before deadline, might not even hear about it either.

        I've always been a fan of a light bench to start with, maybe one playing 4.5def, then 2 fodders, knowing the starting 11 is sure enough to get minutes, no more!

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Wow... haven't heard about Pogba. Covid has made FPL a minefield to navigate! Having second thoughts about benching Bruno GW1

        2. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          We should get furlough points

          1. jason_ni
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            80% of his projected points? I like it.

            1. Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Yes haha

      5. ThisPostsOnFire
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Who do we reckon will start at wing back in Doherty's place? Traore or Maitland Nyles?

        1. Party time
            3 years, 7 months ago

            They will sign another Portuguese wing back imo

            1. El Presidente
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Cancelo

          • Klaren
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            I guess Traore in the first few GWs. Maitland Niles to take over later with Traore moving forward to his usual role.

          • FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Hard to say.. Depends on whether or not they want to use Traore further forward

          • UnluckyXI
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Right now Traore, looks like the transfer might get drawn out so doubt AMN will start the first game, then they play city so I'd rather wait and see than have either in my team from the start

        2. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Which scores more over the medium term?

          A) Bruno | Egan | Vinagre | Soucek | (1st bench: Brewster/Mitchell)

          B) VVD | Doherty | Mitrovic | Pereira | (1st bench: Soucek)

          Thanks

                I thought it was odd but Chelsea team will be Werner, Ziyech and 9 others as there are so many of them in quarantine now

          TAA - VvD - Doherty - Egan (Johnson)

            1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Well, yeah, that's the thing. It's basically a question of whether Bruno by himself outscores Greenwood and another playing mid-priced forward AND a premium defender. He very well might do, but finding that extra 3.0 will be REALLY tough. I'll probably end up dropping Adams for Brewster once the transfer to SHU takes place, but that still leaves me needing to drop Doherty to a Justin or similar in order to fund Bruno.

              1. nolard
                • 9 Years
                3 years, 7 months ago

                I am in the same boat, considering the impact on the whole of Greenwood or Bruno.
                Rash is in between though - a middle way.

        6. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          First serious ask this year!

          A. Doherty Bruno* Mitrovic (+4.5 fwd) (maybe Son Gw1)
          B. Doherty Ings* Greenwood (+4.5 fwd) (Ings to Martial gw2)
          C. Son Ings* Lascelles/Justin (+4.5 fwd) (Ings to Martial gw2)
          D. Martial Ings Egan/Dier (+ 4.5 mid)

          McCarthy 4.0
          TAA Vinagre ___ (Taylor 4.0)
          Salah Auba Arm/ASM Soucek ___
          Werner ___ ___

        7. Nimby
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Will Spurs go 3-5-2/3-4-3 with the signing on Doherty? Him and Davies could both be absolute belters for FPL if so.

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Davies at 5.0 could be a steal

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Can't see it, Mourinho is pretty stuck in his ways so will probably continue to play variants of 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1

          3. HuttonDressedasLahm

          • 5 Years

          Dubravka is out for the first few games at least. Think about this if you have Fernandez or Lascelles in your defence. The Newcastle injury hoodoo rolls on, as with every season.

          1. Fpl Richie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            Damn. I like Lascelles at 4.5

          2. R.C
            • 6 Years

            Will they be weaker without him now?

        9. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Does Doherty to Spurs ruin his own, and Wolves defence potential?

          Was set on Dier, Doherty and Vinagre, but not sure now

          Doherty will be blunted under Jose surely and also a back 4 not wing back

          1. jason_ni
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Not sure it will ruin wolves from a defensive perspective. Probably does blunt some of their threat from RWB, as who will offer what Doherty does!

            I do think it ruins Dohertys potential for points, I just cant see him having the same freedom to wander into the box that he had at wolves.

          2. TMF86
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Wolves - yes.

            Spurs - who knows. I have him and will stick just because of their initial run. Seems a decent player to be able to transfer if need be

          3. linkafu
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Wolves defense still looked solid even playing without Doherty.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            he'll just replace and do what aurier did,i fancy him more at spurs than i did at wolves ,first time in my team today.

          5. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            At 6m Doherty still better than any mid up to 8m.

          6. Pukki Party
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            It could make Wolves potential better if they sign a defencive RB and ply Adama as RW to play wide.

          McCarthy, Nyland
          Walker-Peters, Vinagre, TAA, Saliba, (Mitchell)
          Salah, Son, ASM, Auba, Ziyech
          Mitro, Ings, (Davis)

          1.0 ITB

          Not sure whether going 442 or 352 for the opener yet, tempted by Ziyech to Mount or Deli, obviously Davis to a Easter if he’s loaned out

        13. Thewoodyhorse
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          With all the transfer merry-go-rounds and new players (mostly Chelsea), I'm thinking it's best to stick with the tried and tested solid picks (sheff Utd/liverpool/wolves defence, Salah/mane/son/Auba, Vardy/Ings/Jimi) until the new boys settle in.

            • 12 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            I'm taking him out of my team. Prepared to bring him in it looks like I'm wrong after a few weeks but Tottenham's defence has been worse than Wolves' for a long time and I'm not sure if his goals/assists will be dramatically affected or not but I'd lean marginally towards them dropping rather than rising.
